Abstract (en)

The disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for detecting elements of an assembly, such as electrical components in a printed circuit board. First and second artificially intelligent classifiers are provided for detecting elements in a high-resolution image of the assembly, wherein the first artificially intelligent classifier is pre-trained to detect first elements and the second artificially intelligent classifier is pre-trained to detect second elements, each of the first elements having a size within a first size range, and each of the second elements having a size within a second size range, in which the first size range includes elements having a size that is greater than the size of elements included within the second size range. The second artificially intelligent classifier can be prevented from subsequently searching for elements within bounding boxes previously obtained by the first artificially intelligent classifier.
